Kat is a beautifully complex FMC who is perfectly balanced by the dark seductiveness of Bastian (lovers of shadow daddies like the Darkling and Azriel will love him). Focuses on the trauma of being a woman in a world built by and for men (PLEASE CHECK CONTENT WARNINGS). A beautiful and heartbreaking journey of self discovery and empowerment , perfect for anyone who needs their heavy content broken up by heavy petting.
